Gurit PB1000 – Re-Inventing Aircraft Interior Prepregs
Gurit is proud to present its award winning next generation aircraft interior prepreg.
PB1000 is a modified benzoxazine resin that boasts zero formaldehyde and phenol residue, satisfying the most recent environmental standards like AIRBUS AP2091. It features a non-volatile rapid cure, generating a perfect void and porous free surface, through which time and cost consuming rework is eliminated.
Gurit’s novel PB1000 fully complies with demanding international JAR/FAR fire protection regulations regarding flammability, smoke, toxicity (FST) and heat release. Due to its excellent mechanical performance, PB1000 is perfectly suited to fulfil present and forthcoming stress criteria for interior design.
Meeting increasing demands on cost efficiency in aircraft interior manufacturing, PB1000 is also designed for commonly used fast hot-in / hot-out curing processes.
Gurit’s PB1000 was winner of Materialica Design and Technology Award 2009 and nominated as a finalist in the JEC Innovations Awards 2009.
PF811-F200 Facesheet
PF811-F200 Facesheet is a UD-Carbon fibre reinforced thermosetting pre-impregnated facesheet for aircraft parts. The PF811-F200 Facesheet is a preplied material consisting of cross-plied carbon prepreg with an E-glass fabric surface impregnated with flame retardant phenolic resin and comes with Gurit’s unique adhesive layer for bonding to core materials.
Perfectly suitable for light-weight composite panels, PF811-F200 Facesheet meets the highest requirements of structural interior applications and helps meet increased demands in cost saving.
